I'm sure I can find good info on this somewhere, but thought I'd throw it to some of those who I know can help me. I'm testing loads for my Ruger m77 chambered in 6mm Remington. So, when I head to the range w/ five or more cartridges in each of 5 or 6 different loads... do I need to spend time...

RC- thanks again for your input about the primer depth. You know, even just after I typed that in my last reply, I had a fleeting thought that maybe I had read something somewhere about someone's primers not being seated all the way... Really appreciate the help. I'll lightly "re-touch" -...

You're both right... (sorry to be so late in getting back w/ more info... my daughter's h.s. b-ball scrimmage had me tied up for most of the evening...) The marks on my primer were of the type Waywatcher was imagining - where the mark is the same size & shape of the primer rod - where most of...

Waywatcher - yeah, the off-center crescent shaped marks showed up on a few of mine last night. The reviews of that bench primer sound glowing. Sidewinder - I might be. I think using a softer squeeze (i.e., not quite gripping down to the last little bit of give...) is probably what I'll try...

First ever venture into pistol handloading and noticed something after loading a small batch of 12 cartridges last night. (Want to get those out to the range w/ my Springfield XDM 9 and see how they load/fire/cycle/etc. before loading a bunch...) I'm priming w/ the rcbs hand primer that came...

Thanks - and a "small" correction Smitty - thanks for the advice and encouragement. Just tracked down my replacement Ruger scope rings today. One of the old ones had a hairline crack and the other had stripped screws... Hopefully, I'll make time to get the new scope on and boresighted so I...

update - for what it's worth... Took my first ever reloads to the range this past weekend. Had some interesting results with my ol' inherited Ruger m77 in 6mm rem... First, I think I'm starting with an inherently accurate gun to begin with. Even with the factory Rem. core-lokt ammo it shoots...

Thanks Hometheaterman. Very interesting, though, that the Hrndy book doesn't list a load for IMR4350. The Speer manual gives a 6mm rem load for that powder in every single bullet weight they list from 70gr up to 105. Here's an updated question, now, in light of the Hnrdy book info... This...

Oh, thanks also Majordad and Blackrock. Looks like your replies popped in while I was typing my last reply. I'm jumping back to re-read them now. Lkstr

Thanks Ranger & Smitty... Ranger- I follow what you're saying and I think it gets right at the core of what I was wondering. And, I'm all about starting at the reportedly safe minimums. I appreciate the input very much. Smitty - for now, I'm just looking to work up an accurate load to...

Thanks everyone, for the replies so far. Smitty - I'm definitely working on bldg my collection of manuals/published data. And, I did buy a small sampling of several different bullets to try with (so far) 4 different powders and 2 different flavors of primers I have on hand. For whatever...

I'm early in the reloading process and learning curve for my 6mm remington (Ruger m77) and right now I only own the Speer manual #14. Their 6mm rem loads for a particular weight bullet will show one unique bullet for that weight. (with the exception of the top end 100 or 105gr where they show...

Thanks guys & a follow-up question or two JohnBT - love the picture. Where would you send your third barrel to get threaded? 1KPerDay - yes, to the best of my knowledge all of the bolts were jewelled. They obviously don't add anything to the functionality, but they sure do increase the...

(also posted on another site where a few of you might browse... sorry if this is a repeat for any of you...) ...if you were me? To the original, nearly mint-finish gun given to me by an uncle, I recently added two nice SX1's from Gunbroker.com - one for $375 and one for $250. Here's what I...

Thanks Oneounce, Virginian, Pete, Badger, EMC & RC... for all the input. You've all given me some great leads to chase/look into, and I will be doing that over the weekend. Ordered a bolt buffer & o-ring yesterday for my newly inherited Win. Super X Model 1, and while I was on the phone with...

Thanks, everyone, for all the quick replies. Nearly laughed coffee out my nose this morning when I read the "kidding" about checking the safety. I realize it could be something unseen inside where the safety looks off but isn't... but thankfully I do know which way to push it when it's time to...

Hi all, Recently got one of my 1100 12's back after loaning it to a buddy. He called me from the field way back when he first borrowed it to say it wouldn't fire. I mention that as background - merely to point out I'm not positive if there was a drop, etc. I don't think so, but you never...

Chuck, Thanks again for the info and email. I'll be getting in touch with you soon. Luke

Hi all, Some great posts in here when I searched for this topic, and I hope to get some of that great help for myself... I have inherited one of these gems. It is in what appears to be wonderful condition. Not even a hint of a spot or pit anywhere on the receiver or the 30" fixed full...

Thanks for all the input so far guys. As an update, my trade deal (primers for H4350) apparently isn't going to happen, so I went ahead and picked up some IMR4350. Just fyi... The "ballistic techs" on the phone at Sierra were awesome - gave me the load min/max for their bullets w/ my 4...
